The Practical Gardener: Mastering the Elements of Good Growing
Roger B. Swain, host of PBS's popular "The Victory Garden", combines his substantial experience as a gardener with his background as a biologist to create an elegantly written book that is both a practical tool and an irrepressible appreciation of the craft. 58 illustrations. (Gardening/Horticulture)
Field Days
From cutting firewood to solving the global wood shortage, Swain never fails to deliver an entertaining and informative look at the natural world. "Swain muses over the familiar, finding in it much that is puzzling and wondrous". -- Washington Post
Earthly Pleasures
"This combination of Cambridge and cow chips produces a genre of literature that ennobles the commonplace and lends a sense of appreciation to everyday things". -- The Sciences
Herbs and the Earth
These reflections on herbs, gardens, and nature by naturalist/writer Beston (best known for The Outermost house, a record of a year spent on Cape Cod's beach) were first published in 1935 and are here lovingly reprinted letterpress with woodcuts by John Howard Benson and an introduction by Horticulture magazine editor Roger Swain.

Groundwork
A provocative call for environmentally sound gardening from PBS's Victory Garden host Roger Swain--who shows why gardeners are in the best position to become environmentalists through their garden techniques. Groundwork displays the author's talents as a storyteller as well as writer, biologist, and gardener.
Slow Gardening
Presents advice on low-maintenance gardening, with tips for easy landscaping, short-cut composting, container gardening, and reliable plant combinations.
A Gardener's Guide to Frost
He visits thousands of gardeners each year. Some of them see him coming, others are caught by surprise. Far too many never recover. His name is Jack Frost -- and he's coming soon to a garden near you. A Gardener's Guide to Frost is packed with practical advice that every gardener can put to use each summer. Readers will learn to look at their gardens the way Jack Frost does so they can keep their gardens thriving despite his icy visits. The clear, easy-to-understand explanations come from someone with dirt under his fingernails, and the book includes helpful tables and other resources, including a handy chart listing the frost tolerance of common garden vegetables. Readers will also meet some gardeners who have devised ways to keep on gardening right past fall frosts and into winter. For all its practical advice, however, this book doesn't present Jack Frost as some sort of villain who spoils our all-too-short gardening seasons. Rather, it explains how we can learn to garden with frost -- even embracing it as a friend who helps us slow down and appreciate the beautiful and fleeting gifts of gardening. Book jacket.

Earthly Pleasures
